Notes
- §42.5.11.prdabitur — The subject of the verb dabitur (third-person singular future passive) and continet (third-person singular present active) in the subordinate clause is not explicitly stated, but is understood from the context to be 'the action (actio)'.
- §42.5.11.prrei ... persecutionem — rei is an objective genitive governing persecutionem. The phrase rei persecutio (pursuit of property/recovery of loss) is a key classification of actions in Roman law, contrasted with actions that aim purely at a penalty (poena).
